Shopping a legal drug

A website I noticed today: Shop around tours is a service “For People who live to shop and love to travel”. – Shop around tours offers guided tours for bargain shoppers e.g. Designer outlet shopping in Tuscany.

One testimonial statement of a (however briefly) satisfied shopper was on the landing page of the website: “You’ve created a wonderful environment for all of us bag-loving, shoe-hoarding, fashion-craving shoppers and we are all eternally grateful.” – Kate H. Arlington, VA

Hard to believe someone would really say this without irony. But it is a true statement of current reality: our environment is created for and by shopping addicts.

Wonderful? Eternally grateful? I am not buying this!
